Should Trump Fear for His Life? Dick Morris Shares His Thoughts
"Mentioned Kennedy a few times. You mentioned RFK junior who's running on the Democrat side. It seems to me that JFK was onto the same forces that we are now again onto he understood the wickedness. The power of the FBI, the weaponized FBI and the CIA. And he was aiming to do something about it. And it seems to me that that is why they killed him because he was that kind of a threat. Do you not fear that there would be an attempt on Donald Trump's life? I'm surprised there hasn't been. Well, I worked for Clinton and I worked for Trump. He got to trust the Secret Service. They do a hell of a job. And they're very efficient, very effective. So I don't want to speculate about that. I will tell you something about the Kennedy assassination JFK. Robert Caro in his biographies of Johnson takes it right up to this point, but then leaves it off. Apparently John Kennedy had decided to dump Lyndon Johnson from the ticket in 1964 and had told his secretary Evelyn Lincoln that he did. And the front page article on Life magazine, the week of the assassination, was to have been a bad Lyndon Johnson being indicted. In the early celestial and in the Harrison Williams investigation, senator from New Jersey and those investigations were going to lead to an indictment that Johnson and Kennedy was killed right before he could act on that.

Mourners gather for 1st Nashville school shooting funeral
"Mourners gathered for the first funeral for victims of the Nashville school shooting. 9 year old Evelyn dick house was described as a shining light. Friends and family bid farewell to a girl who loved art, music, animals, and snuggling with their older sister on the couch. Reverend Craig stauffer at the woodmont Christian church said the challenge is to take her light and keep spreading it to a world that has so much darkness and pain. The church is just a few miles from the covenant school. Dick house and two other 9 year olds and three adults were killed. Reverend stauffer told the AP it's been surreal and a nightmare that they are waiting to wake up from. It's been one of the hardest weeks you could imagine. I'm Ed Donahue

How Should We Identify the Nashville Shooter?
"We have. A very interesting sort of smoking gun problem in the mainstream media, which is the left wing media there. Synonymous. How do you identify the shooter in a Nashville, this monstrous murderer who murdered three children and three adults, I believe that is the number. Children three children ages 8 and 9 and three adults. At a Christian school, the covenant school for the record the children were Evelyn, deke house, Halle scruggs, and William Kinney. The adults were Cynthia peak, Catherine coons, and Mike hill. 61 60 61, children 8 and 9. I think the murderer was 26 years old. I'll verify that for you. So we have here a female who identifies as a male, so in the current parlance that's trans male. If you watch the mainstream media or read the mainstream media or listen to them, it was very difficult to ascertain that. Because in their articles, the many of them did not even use a pronoun. This is very difficult when you describe somebody who is the subject of your story. So do you say she took the gun or she got the gun illegally, she got there in a stolen car, she got there, or he got there.

"And they were saying, they have this look on the faces. Oh, shit. Oh my God. Up until that point, I've never been able to do it all in one time and we shot that in one wide shot and it was the entire thing so you can see the audience can see that it was me doing it. And they were really nervous. My heart was pounding by now. I hear row camera, take two, and I start swinging this fanny pack. And go smoothly, I swing it around over my shoulder, it's good. I swing around my neck, it's perfect. Then comes the hard part. I kick the strap. And I see almost in that instant. It was like it was in slow motion. I see the fanny pack shoots up and flies towards the camera. Just the way you need it to be. And I waited, I stayed in character, and then I hear. I looked over and everybody's clapped and there was that big relief on the days. I think that was, I think it was one of the happiest moments of the shoot. And it was certainly one of my happiest because there was so much pressure leading up to that shot. So when you see it, it's that's the second take, and that will only do it in two takes. Wow. Wow. That's insane. Unimaginable. I mean, the degree of precision and just timing and frankly luck to get a scene like that right on the second take. I've seen enough of these things shot to know how miraculous that really is. So maybe again, this is just a blessed production or something, because I can't imagine what they would have done if you had not made it on that take. My favorite part of that sequence actually is the action is great, but my favorite is the look you give to Evelyn right before it starts. You look down at her,

"Collecting little secrets all along the way until your little fanny pack, you're remembering, oh, that day we shot that scene and we discovered X and so now two weeks later I can bring out that little texture or that vocabulary into this story that we're creating together. It really feels like sculpting in a way that especially with everything everywhere. My character I had to be so alive the whole time because I could also, you know, we created this villain that because she can be everywhere and she is all knowing and she's supposed to be above Evelyn that at any moment she could be in the middle of a conversation with you and have jumped to 5 different possibilities. Right. So the way I played with that was this hyper awareness. So I was collecting clues the whole time of what I could bring back later. You know, I felt like I was right in the river with everybody. So it was so fun. And the biggest, I think, the texture, the most exciting texture of a character we created was we created for shorthand, we created this character joy boo, which was a combination of joy and job. And so sometimes we would do a scene that maybe if you read the script, you're like, oh, that's clearly a job scene. We would do it again as joy boo, just shade it. To shade it. And that became such an important, invisible character that was, I think, the bedrock of how to keep an audience curious of who this person, who this character is. Why is she she's a villain, but I know she's the daughter, like, what's going on? Because you have to make sure that they follow you all the way so you can take them to the parking lot, which is the first just simple scene after two hours. And like your character, everybody who watches it is ugly crying.

And I'd say the same thing. But what if we all went around being a little bit more humble? Saying, what if I don't know? I will say, and I think I may have said this on my show.

"And being a person, like a well rounded person, is continuing to evolve, continuing to grow. For me, when I hear you on your show and having spoken with you throughout the time, that we have, I don't see you as being bored with yourself. I find you to be someone who has depth and is curious and is open to learning. And I think that's so critically important. Because as people, if you stop learning, that's kind of when you fall into trouble. So I respect the conversation and the shows that you have. And the nuanced conversations because it's not a superficial conversation by any means on your show. You really do deep dives. You roll up your sleeves and you get into it. Your thoughtful, your curious, your respectful, and you're having these important conversations. So I don't, for me, from my perch, looking at you and getting to know you, you are a person that is curious and wants to grow. And you give people that platform to have these conversations to learn. So I think it's funny that you say that you're bored with yourself. I just find you to be an incredibly thoughtful person that kind of is willing to learn and to ask questions and to be open and to be receptive to continue that process of life. And that's what I love about you, and that's what I love about the show. Oh, well, thank you so much. It's one of the things I love about your show because I am able to learn and grow as a person.

Everybody break, go to your separate corners, and then we'll come back and regroup. Yeah, absolutely. Again, it's like these are such complicated, complicated problems, but I think until we sort of check in with ourselves, things aren't going to change. And again, it's like an actor playing a journalist. Thank you so much for clarifying that. Again, it's one of those things that goes back to what I was saying earlier. We have to look beyond what things appear to be. You know? And I want to take this moment just to also let you know. I know that you and I have obviously talked throughout the last few months and you said something that I, you pointed out something that I really wanted to say, thank you and also how important it was for me to kind of remember. And it stayed in the forefront of my brain. You had asked me about an episode that I did with doctor Samantha, you mean, where she's a scientist, and she's talking about representation there and why it was important. And you had pointed out to me, this is a perfect example of why representation for people who think it's just about people of color or gender. It's not, because without proper representation, even in the science labs, like medication, is being tested, right? So if you're just testing a PMS thing with old white people, they're not going to, it's not going to be as effective for your body type. In short. Yeah. So it's sort of like, you want to have representation of all kinds because it's accurate. It helps you. It literally affects everyone that lives on this planet. Yeah. So it's like, you got to understand, it's like the more representation we have, the better our medicines are. The better in all different types because it's being tried. It's being tested. It's being made for people of all kinds, to be the most effective, the most safe. So I think when you pointed that out to me, it really, really resonated. And I've really continued to kind of hold that in the forefront of the episodes that I do is to kind of pick topics that are much broader and that illustrate that point. So I just wanted to say thank you to you for that. Oh, yeah. You're welcome. I just was kind of speaking off the top of my head. But I'm glad it resonated with you. Oh my God, totally. So thank you. I really wanted to tell you that because that was really important to me. And now that I go

"People who have been growing corn and particular way for centuries, right? And the DM corn coming in and basically wreaking havoc on the traditional ways of growing and harvesting corn there. Yeah, I think that's right. And I think that I think that in agricultural areas that genetic technology is not furthering social justice in most cases. I mean, there'd be some ways in which it's promoting food security. And that's important. That's an important justice consideration. But it's not, it's not being done. We don't pursue agricultural biotechnology for the sake of supporting justice. And in many cases, it undermines justice. So I think that's a big difference. It's certainly something that, you know, if you have the idea that genetic modification is linked to injustice, then that is that would be an argument that's used against the genetic chestnut. I don't see it working that way. And on my view, it's supporting forest health and supporting the resilience of our forest that is the thing that is linked to. Sure. But it does, and the researchers have promised that they will make this the intellectual property for the available. And not only that, but since it goes into the wild, it will be there for people to take the seeds without any ownership considerations. Right. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a really important consideration here is that this is very much a public project. When you mentioned that it will take volunteers all around the country while I guess on the east coast mostly. I don't know if they thrive on the West Coast. But to actually go out and plant them. It makes it would take a lot of support. A lot of money. A lot of people. But I know that the most significant opposition to the exactly modified chestnut is from people who are concerned that it would be used as a wedge with regulators to pave the way for private uses a genetic modification in trees. Just right now, there are some trees that are approved for use, but there are no GM trees that are used for biofuels or wood and those. So there's the possibility of developing eucalyptus trees that could grow faster, and trees could be used as a source of mass. And so the concern is that once you approve one tree that the regulations within approve another. I don't believe that that's the case. I know there are a lot of people have distrust in government agency, but the way that the regulator regulatory process works. I don't see that by approving one tree, all the other trees will necessarily prove. I think the regulatory process is worth by case basis. And it does seem as though the regulators are more concerned about this as a being used in conservation than they otherwise would be. Yeah, so that's the primary consideration. Yeah, that's really interesting. We've reached the end of my conversation with doctor Evelyn Brewster, Professor of philosophy at Rochester institute of technology. We talked about doing philosophy out in the field and how this practice brings to light, social and ethical issues and scientific research. We also talked about using biotechnology to improve forest health and resilience, as well as the importance of analyzing how biotechnology can bring both harms and benefits to people in ecosystems.

"In the first half of my conversation with doctor Evelyn brister, Professor of velocity, at Rochester institute of technology, we talked about the idea of fuel philosophy as a kind of socially engaged philosophy in the second half, I was interested to hear about her new paper on the topic of introducing a genetically modified American chestnut, and what that might mean for sustainable forestry and current conservation values. It's actually the idea putting a genetically modified organism out in the wild intentionally is pretty radical idea. It's radical enough that some people strongly oppose it and others are really passionate about supporting it. And when I first heard about it, it was because I was working on restoring this local forested park and we had a couple of dying chestnuts. And we were wondering, at what point can we replace these chestnuts with chestnuts that would survive and research we found that there was a genetically modified variety that was not going to be ready for a while. In fact, that was about ten years ago. And it's still not ready. The idea. So chestnuts have been missing from our forest. They were an important tree species, but they've been missing since the 20s, 30s, 40s. And if we could restore them, that would be an important point to forest health. We've lost a lot of biodiversity in our forests. There are a lot of trees that are under threat from various pests. Depending on where you live, you've probably heard about the emerald ash borer, or maybe some of the other threats. And this project is developed genetically modified tree that would be able to defend itself against a blight of fungus that's widespread throughout the environment. So chestnuts used to be all along the east coast through the Appalachian mountain range up into Canada. But the blight came from Asia and it's become endemic. So it will the black continues to live even when there are no chestnuts because it can live on oaks and in the wild leaf litter. So if we had this genetically modified chestnut, when the chestnuts became infected, then they would be able they would form a sore canker. And then the tree would be able to protect itself and seal that off. So it doesn't kill the fungus exactly. It just prevents it from killing the tree. And in order to do that, the biotechnologist introduced a gene from wheat into the chestnut genome, but that makes it a transgenic, right? That's not a gene from another species in it, and the goal is to release it into the wild and enough of them all up and down the eastern seacoast with enough genetic diversity that they would thrive. And come back over time over the course of it would probably take centuries. But that we would see a chestnut in eastern forest again. Yeah. I think it's vulnerable. And I see it as a goal that's for the sake of the forests, right? Yeah, because there are numerous advantages in terms of biodiversity and ecosystem health, right? If the chestnut were reintroduced. Yeah, and we can also talk about the advantages to us that used to be an important timber that it provides nuts that people can eat. They want to enforce. But I think that the real advantage is not the advantage to humans. It's the advantage to the forest. And so far as it's for us, it's because having resilient and healthy forests is a good that we appreciate. Yeah, and so this project has been going on for a number of decades, right? I think they're almost 30 years into it. Okay, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So there's a lot of work. And then restore in chestnuts would be long term. You would read chess that you would have to breed them with enough genetic diversity in order for them to survive. And then you would have to put them in the forest. And then you wait for them to grow. How many decades? This is not the sort of project that you expect to see. Right. But it's not cool because it's radical because it's putting an engineering product out into the wild. And that separates it really significantly from an agricultural use of biotechnology, where we it's not that the fear with agricultural biotechnology is that genes that are engineered will be accidentally introduced into the world and spread. This would be the first organism that would be released into the water intentionally and not for the sake of human health, but for the station of preserving neighbor conservation. And so in that way, I think it's connected to other possible uses of biotechnology that include saving endangered species. Maybe saving populations of rhinoceros using the possible cloning technique. Right now there's recently been clone a black footed ferret to try to increase the diversity in that injured species. And in the future, this might be something to consider for corals, biotechnology, and some way to preserve corals, which are right now, somewhat threatened, but the idea is that in 20 years the predictions are the 20 years corals be even more. And that we may not be able to save them. Somehow intervening to allow them to survive in warmer ocean. Yeah. Yeah, so there's an important distinction there, right? As you mentioned, the show that agricultural GMO crops that we're used to hearing about, but then this seems to be a completely different category of organisms that are introduced these really sort of solely for the sake of the ecosystem. There's no there's no money to be made off of the chestnuts thriving all along the east coast. So do you think that that's an important factor in how we think about the ethical considerations for this type of project, especially in comparison to other types of genetically modified organisms? Yeah, I think it's absolutely important. I think so I'm not particularly as just personally in favor of agricultural biotechnology in most cases, but my objections, my own, I know people have lots of different objections, but my own objections are not so much about what we've done to those genes to engineer them because we've changed genes of agriculture plants and radical ways through artificial selection as well. Sure. But it's my objection, my primary objection to agricultural biotechnology are the social the social disadvantages that has caused to people around the world and the way that it's changed agriculture and the way it's changed food systems. Yeah, it reminds me of chapter in science by the people by Aya Camara and advocate on GMO corn in Mexico. Served similar discussion there about how that's impacted the local communities and.

"Political landscape of the group that you're working with. And then you can, once you've earned trust, have some things to say, questions to ask, and then guide group conversations. So how do you get into that place of trust so that you can do the fieldwork? And I think everyone is looking for people to organize events, write reports, take notes at meetings, and these are just skills that academics have. It's not special to philosophy. But when you work with people who are not in the university or not educators, then you realize lots of people are really uncomfortable speaking in public. That's a very natural thing. Lots of us are uncomfortable speaking in public too, but we've had enough practice that we can do it. And yeah, taking notes, it's huge. Being able to take a bunch of complex information and then organize it and simplify it into a clear message. That's another skill that just a whole lot of groups can use. And so I think getting involved in field work often involves getting involved in a group. Then developing a field work aspect. Yeah, that reminds me of one of the pieces of advice that came out of the workshop that we did, which is just showing up is a big part of it. It's just, you know, attending groups and meeting with people and just listening to what people are talking about and working on and are interested in exploring. That's an important first step in getting involved in doing this kind of work. You know, it's a really long, slow fight. Change the world and then goes with sustainability. And a lot of my work on sustainability has been pulling weeds and planting trees and literally like literally. I have pulled out a lot of weeds. And right now I'm working on a management plan for local park and that's taking some of my time, but when I'm done with that, I'll go pull out some weeds. In accordance with the management plan and that will also take time. It's enjoyable work, but I mean, let's not forget that when we talk about field philosophy being time consuming, writing article this time consuming, and any kind of all the work for social justice, it takes time and it takes effort at super rewarding. In this first half of my conversation with doctor Evelyn Bristol Professor of philosophy at Rochester institute of technology, we talked about what field philosophy philosophy out in the world looks like and how justice issues are often central in both the theory and practice of this type of work, working with communities means listening and attending to their needs, and we talked about how philosophers can play a role in creating space for making sure that those needs are addressed and in drawing attention to things like underlying assumptions, questions and values.

Yeah definitely i mean. Dad deserves a lot of credit. He's listening. My dad deserves even my mom. They both deserve so much credit. Because we were me and my siblings. My three siblings. We were encouraged to pursue science and technology and it wasn't forced upon us in the sense of we must pursue a specific career specific industry. It was more of here all these tools available to you. My dad exposed us to computers super-duper young and he made it available to us so that we could be introduced an engaged with technology. Early on didn't want us to be on the back end. When he tried he wanted to be at the forefront. He warned us to be exposed to all the different Because at that time we had a first to have a laptop. I was the first kid to have two phone lines in my house. So i could be online and talk to my friends on the phone or like two people could be on the phone at the same time.

I knew be exposed how we can improve. What what you can bring like. There was more. It's more of a of a student side of it and learning side. Because my dad he had a second business growing or he had a business on the side when we were young and he was fixing computers for people and he would have like his little screwdriver. Said he'd be breaking apart computers fixing things and so we were around that and we were around him coating. We were around him troubleshooting. We were around him. Learning these technologies to and then showing us these tips and tricks on how to use it and like showing why it was cool and like why you know it was interesting to him sharing the why behind it more than just like giving us technology and i think one thing i've noticing i don't have kids of my own but i think when i look back at my life you know i don't think in the moment again. I was like picking up on this and like consciously like. Oh my dad's teaching something. We always look back and i was looking at my dad's behaviors and how he was the first to figure out how to fix something he wasn't just outsourcing and someone else i come here and fix this. My dad was a troubleshooter. My dad was the one who is gonna get his hands dirty and fix himself like it wasn't even just the technology that he was handing to us and saying.

That sort of censorial in it's tactile approach to the break of texture on the niskanen sort of the enveloping of the moisture. Hydration so Yeah any any any of those three. I would say really kind of our embodied the what we were trying to do with the approach and that was actually something. I very kindly sent some products recently. And i've sort of opened the box and was like the packaging is very different. Yes i guess that was intentional. One hundred percent. I think if we were going to make the change we had to make the change Crabtree villain has been repackaged. Probably twenty times over the last twenty years and every time they quote unquote rebranded or refreshed. It was just a packaging update but we scrapped pretty much everything from we did new packaging new formula new branding everything Yes very bowls. I felt like the packaging if just tried to update british florals. It wasn't going to be different enough and we weren't gonna make a big enough change in the approach in the trajectory of the business. So we wanted it you know the goal was to attract twenty eight year old urban millennial and they don't all want fluffy florals you know So when we went at a bit sleeker more universal meant more can look good in anyone's bathroom and on anyone's shower shell on but that was that was the approach packaging it is quite different and is it tribute Crabtree and is not one hundred percent tale. It is yes. We are completely due to see right now And hopefully we will have stores in the stores are still on the the business plan snot immediate future but we would like to have some experiential stores in some of the key cities are gosh icon. I come to see what you do. I would i would love to do is bring some some of these contacts that we've made in these locations to come in store and give classes lessons in tutorials bring that experience full circle of tamar. When you say experience. I have no doubt it will be an experience. Okay so i'm in closing during the end of all time together. But you've set for the long term goal for crabtree and evelyn is to become a lifestyle brand what does not look like how might not look like once that starts to roll out. Yes so with our bali collection in our new exploration collection as launching. Just like three or four weeks now. We have artists in made goods from these locations. That were exploring. So we're extending beyond just personal care and we are showcasing. Some of the amazing artisan skills in these locations so for bali. We have woodworking. We have handled in the sense that are driving the ball. In his son we have Fabrics et cetera et cetera. In the new location. That we're going to next month for a launch greece And we have some absolutely beautiful pieces of gold jewelry Small batch artists in made goods. That will round out the personal care portfolio so we would really like to original crabtree in eveland. Sold things like this. They had towels. they had linens. They had jams in mustards. And all that stuff. We will have olive oil from greece. And all that kind of small batch stuff so it will be a whole lifestyle or folio not just lotions. Potions it's such an interesting ship icon honestly. Think of a single brand and somebody may be listening in. They'll correct me. I can't think of a brand that has made. Such massive change is an way. Just ask my mom on the to be honest. It sounds ambitious. But it's exactly the kind of thing. I would expect from the industry because i do think there is such a big thing because there are people within the industry who just could really see this could work and it does seem that you're one of those people he's just gonna kate. This is what we were working with. You've gone right back to the beginning and you are probably reinventing it in a way that it would have progressed Cyber charge today. yeah. I mean he was a modern millennial back then when you look at when he the visits on honestly no no no no reward so it again. We just had a slight jumping connection. What was the last said on. No risk no reward right go bigger. Go home exactly go. It's been such a pleasure to speak to you ashleigh. Thank you so much time. And i am so excited every time i get any message or email. Anything from corruption of an announcement open it. It open excitedly because i just don't know what will be inside but i know it will be really really interesting. Thank you so much for your time listeners. If you want to fully ashley for the brand. We have spoken about. We'll be linked in the next which can be found wherever to see australian downloading Ashmead to actually thank you so much for joining me..

"evelyn" Discussed on Food Issues
"Eating as something. That's been around since the eighties. And the first the actual term was coined by two dieticians. So evelyn tripoli a lease rash so they are the founders of intuitive eating as a movement and they wrote a book called intuitive eating which is now in its fourth edition but the concept of intuitive. Eating has been around for even before they wrote the book. And i think it started because there had been this surge in dieting in the eighty s and specially we all remember below fat craze which caused us to create a lot of processed foods that were lower in fat. And this obsession with calorie count counting and then this and so it just created what we now call diet culture which is definitely still alive and well in present day but i think one of the coolest things about intuitive eating is coming back to trusting our own bodies because through diet culture through all of these plans and meal plans and calorie counting and macro counting. We started to lose touch with our own bodies and we started to distrust. Our own bodies started to believe that we can't trust our own bodies and sometimes we project that onto our children as well but children actually are born intuitive eaters. They're able to determine when they're hungry when they're satisfied from birth but we train it out of them so that usually by the time that they're five years old they start to lose that ability because repeatedly over and over we tell them you should eat more or you should eat less. Are you should eat this instead of that. And then they also lose touch with their bodies and lose that ability to tune in

Food Heaven Podcast
What Is Intuitive Eating?
"So for people who are listening and this may be the first time you are hearing about the term intuitive eating. Maybe you're new to our podcast. I think it's a good idea to start with a general definition on one into beating his. I have scoured the interwebs for a definition. That is concise that. I really like and it happens to be by eliza ramsey who is a dietitian that has been on our podcast a couple times to talk about intuitive eating and her definition is intuitive. Eating is an approach to health and food. that has nothing to do with diets. Meal plans disipline or willpower. It teaches you how to get in touch with your body's natural cues like hunger fullness in satisfaction while learning to trust your body around food again so really intuitive meaning was founded in. Here's me that's the end of the definition intuitive beating was founded by two registered dieticians. Evelyn aaa who's been on our podcast and a least rash as a response to chronic dieting. So intuitive eating is essentially the of a diet and it's really learning to get in touch with your body and your unique needs. There are ten principles of intuitive eating. And i'm not going to go into all of them. You can get the book if you wanna learn more. Or there's we have a ton of podcast episodes about this. But you know number one is rejecting the diet mentality remembering. It's not about your like a willpower or being a failure. It's this system of diet culture. That really sets us up to fail. Another principle that i loved to discuss with clients is feeling your fullness right. So what is comfortable. Fullness feel a hick in your body and you know. How do we try to respect our fullness right how do we respect our body. Respect our our bodies kind of predetermined wheat in shape. So there's a lot to it. That is a very over-simplified definition of intuitive eating but i think a good place to

Facebook 'Supreme Court' Orders Social Network To Restore 4 Posts In 1st Rulings
"Facebook has created its own sort of Supreme Court. It's an oversight board that has the final say on some of its hardest decisions over what users can and cannot post. Today. That board issued its first rulings it ordered the social network to restore several posts that it had removed for breaking Facebook rules. NPR TECH correspondent Shannon Bond joins us now to explain Hey, Shannon. Hey, Elsa. So we should first note. Facebook is among MPR's financial supporters. All right, So Shannon tell us a little more about some of the cases this board considered. Yeah, there were five and total announced today. And in each of these, the board was reviewing post that Facebook had taken down for violating policies against things like hate speech, nudity and harmful misinformation about covert 19. And when you dig into the details of these rulings, you know, enforcing these rules is really complicated. And ultimately, the board overturned. Facebook's decision to remove in four of these first five cases, huh? Okay, so give us a quick example. Right. So in one case, Facebook had removed a post from a user in Myanmar, who had suggested there was something wrong with Muslims and Facebook says this broke its rules against hate speech. This is an especially fraught issue because, of course, Facebook has been criticized for its role in the genocide of the country's Muslim minority. The board looked at this and said, You know, if you take into consideration the full context this post was pejorative. But the board didn't think it crossed the line into hate speech. And so it said, Facebook needs more justification. If it's going to take down post like this. And the board told Facebook to reinstate it Now Facebook has agreed to abide by these rulings and the post is already back up. Wait. So who is on this board? Exactly? Admit up of 20 international experts. They're mainly and things like law and human rights. But there's also a Nobel peace Laureates and journalists and even the former prime minister of Denmark. It was created by Facebook last year, and it's funded by Facebook through an independent trust. And do you think these decisions give us any clues as to how the board sees its overall role? I spoke to Evelyn Do ek Harvard Law School lecture has been following the board very closely. These five cases even though it's only five cases out of the thousands or millions of decisions that Facebook makes in awake are a true shot across the bow from the oversight board to Facebook. She says. It's a shot across the bop bow because the board is taking aim directly at some of Facebook's policies and enforcement, you know, warned about the extent to which the company relies on artificial intelligence that says those systems need more human oversight. It emphasized taking context into account, and it wants Facebook to just be much more clear about its rules on policies like health, misinformation or Dangerous groups. You know, Elsa, we know Facebook has this immense power over what it's billions of users composed. Now it's created this board and from what we've seen today, the board has ambitions to be a real check on that power. You know, it's kind of flexing its muscles so interesting. Well, what I did notice is we did not here today about Facebook's decision to suspend former President Trump after The whole insurrection at the Capitol in January. 6th. What do we know about the board's review of that case? Right. Facebook reviewed the Trump suspension to the board last week. This is the case everyone has their eyes on. Of course, right. It's a huge deal. The board is opening up for public comment tomorrow, and it has about three months to make a ruling, And ultimately it's going to be up to the board to settle this very fraught debate over whether Trump should get his account back, so we'll stay tuned. That is NPR's Shannon Bond. Thank you, Shannon. Thanks, Elsa.

Web Hosts, Services Connecting Websites To The Internet, Gain More Power
"We talk a lot about the choices that social media platforms make what kinds of speech do Facebook or Twitter block. But a less visible part of the Web may be more powerful. It decides whether an online platforms survives or goes dark. NPR's Bobby Allen reports on one front in the fight over online speech. If you want to run a site on the Internet, you need a Web host the service that actually connects a website to the Internet. There's guts of the Web that no one ever wants to see or deal with, or think about. Well. Greg Falco, a Stanford security researcher. Says it might be time to start thinking about it. Web hosting companies have the levers to vast online infrastructure and complete discretion to pull those levers as they see fit. That means they can decide which websites live or die. The question becomes tricky, like when you actually take someone down. It's a really great territory. The reality is comes down to understanding when it reaches from public attention when there's actually physical implications, for instance, a group of people who go to a website to plan to overthrow government and then use the site to document the attempt by posting photos and videos of the violence. That's the scenario that faced Amazon Web services, one of the biggest players in the Web hosting world. One of its clients was the social media site parlor, which was filled with post by pro Trump extremists before and during the storming of the U. S. Capitol. Amazon stopped hosting parlor and the site went dark. Too many. This revealed the power of Web hosting, says former Netflix executive Dave Temkin. He's an expert in the infrastructure of the Internet. It's absolutely invisible. It just kind of works, and no one knows what it is until it breaks in justifying cutting parlor off, Amazon said it had warned parlor of 98 examples of posts that quote Clearly encouraged and incite violence that went against Amazons. Terms of service. If parlor didn't clean up its act, Amazon would hit the kill switch. And that's what happened to Harvard's Evelyn duet who studies online speech. It was a big moment, It raised questions about the power of Web hosts. Is that the right place for content moderation to be occurring because it's harder to bring accountability to those choices when we don't even know who's making them or how they're being made. In other words, when a Web host Has a problem with content. Usually, these discussions are hashed out between two companies out of the public light and Web hosts. Unlike Social media platforms aren't used to having to explain these decisions. Another issue to excess is who polices the Web host. She pointed to the 98 pieces of objectionable content. Amazon sighted about parlor that it sort of made me love a little bit because, like has Amazon, read the rest of the Internet like 98 pieces of content or whatever it was, is not that many I mean, has Amazon red and It's on the old idea of the Internet as a marketplace of ideas where the best will rise to the top no longer applies. That's being fiercely reconsidered by both Social media and the companies that do Web hosting. Temkin, the former Netflix executive agrees. But he also noted that Web hosts even those as big as Amazon can be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of sites they serve. You know, if your AWS and got hundreds of thousands of customers, you can't actively police what each of those customers were doing with your service, But if you're the one band from Amazon, why not just find another Web host? Well, parlor has tried and it's not that easy. Last six Web host parlor has approached have all said No thanks. Parlor. Now on, Lee has a shell of a site where no one can post Bobby Allen.

Small Greenhouses: The How, What, and Why
"Wanna pick up an idea that somebody sent us in an e mail. Few months ago where they asked us to comment about some small ikya greenhouses now for people who don't know key is a big furniture store right. Coup doesn't kia. Well some people may not know but evelyn e. you know about these greenhouses. What what exactly are people asking about. What are they talking about here. It especially if you live in a small home or a small apartment and you don't have a lot of window space or your apartment very dry. These miniature greenhouses can be very appealing because it gives you some dedicated growing space. And it's a way to increase the humidity. Which for some house. Plants is really important. It cracks me up when i see these on pinterest planted with charming little succulents. Because that's the last plant that really needs the increased humidity of greenhouses fact. You're you're probably going to be doing them a disservice unless you leave that. Many greenhouse open all the time. But but i can't actually makes one called soccer and i'm sure that if i spoke swedish would pronounce that better which is very cute and actually functions and the reason that it functions is because the roof is hinged so you can open it up and have full complete to the inside of the little greenhouse and it's small it's like about eighteen inches wide and fourteen inches tall but you could still fit some really pretty smaller plants that need high humidity in a little greenhouse like that. But there it's a maiden hair furner erects or an apiece or something that needs increased shop but don't waste it on a bunch of succulents. That's not really what you need to do for them. And it's probably not large enough to grow any amount of food in either right now. It really isn't. And i get so frustrated when i see these things. Online that are not realistic. That set people up to fail. Because you have a bad experience with something like that and it's gonna turn you off from growing plants completely. If you wanted to start a few seeds in one of these little greenhouses you could certainly do that. But it's not enough. You're not going to be able to grow more than maybe like a basil plant or a rosemary. Plant something in there. It's just they're just not big enough on but the thing to watch out for especially is read the descriptions if you're looking online a lot of these things that are just charming are not functional. There are some beautiful like brass and glass greenhouses up there little mini ones. That would fit on a tabletop and they sit on a tray and the trae is a half an inch deep and to access the planting. You have to lift off the whole glass top. So you've only got a half an inch of soil in there to plant with. That's not gonna work for you the ikya one. Actually you can plant in. And even though it's made out of you know glass it's plastic. It does function. so you could. You could use this. For for instance a almost a terrarium. You could create a little jungle environment in there. Yeah you could and if you if in the ones that let let you actually plant directly in them if you are going to buy one of those beautiful ones that doesn't actually have a solid bottom to it. That's the kind of thing that you're going to have to use like a close. You might just put a couple of pots in there and then put the glass top down on top of the whole thing. But you can't actually plant in soil in that kind of a little mini greenhouse. It's it's almost a display item rather than a functional growing strider. And you need to. It will increase the humidity for those plants. But they need to be individually potted. And i think it's important for people to manage their expectations now I was looking around when when we decided to talk about this. I was looking around. Because i noticed that some people mentioned that you can use these inside or outside and and i'm sure you can put it outside. But why would you want to limit yourself to such tiny thing. If you're doing it outside you know if you want some outside protection so that you can grow more plants on the shoulder seasons early in the spring and and even into the winter there are larger structures. That are much better for this. And i was looking at the gardner supply company which is a company that i'm very fond of up in vermont. An employee owned company. They're wonderful and they have a several structures that fit over standard size raised beds that create this kind of greenhouse effect over a raised bed. The sides come up so that you can get in there and tend your plants you know. And you've got that protection that carries you into the winter or early in the spring and very reasonably priced. Yes and those are a much better. Bet if you're talking about outdoor growing for many reasons because they're they're lightweight they're plastic. You can fold them up in store them easily when the growing season is completely over and they give you much more space than a tiny little kia. Terrarium is going to give you. But if you are interested in doing this indoors and you want a little more space than the ikea soccer will give you my swedish accent soccer so you could just take and this is what i used to do. I would just. I would buy big old aquariums flea markets and garage sales and this was something it may not be quite as cute and charming as something that was intended to be greenhouses concerned. But it solid. It's all glass. So you've got a really strong thing there that you can plant directly in and it's going to give you more growing space so if you're somebody who's just been dying to grow a maiden hair fern or something that requires higher humidity than you can give it in your apartment. Start looking for those old fish tanks because those will really serve your purpose probably better than anything you can buy new
10% Happier with Dan Harris
The Anti-Diet With Evelyn Tribole
"Thanks for making time for this. Yeah absolutely how did you get into. Meditation is so bizarre. I have was a securities route The long short story is when my mom was dying of cancer. I had to keep missing sessions with patients and i would tell them. Why didn't they flaky. And so patient might give me a book called mindful grieving and i remember looking at it. They can wine the hell. Do i wanna feel migrelief. I am a ten of sadness and it broke me open. Because i noticed during those times i practice some mindfulness as i knew it back then i was just a little baby meditators off but i noticed there was times is neutral that time to actually was happy even though my mom was dying and so with open something up and then taking this is this is really funny. I took a professional retreat with someone. Who's a zen zen master and a pediatrician as for health professionals. And i'll never forget the second time they made us meditate. I thought i was going to die a call my best friend. They made us meditate two times. And now we're going to go into silence and long story short here i am. I fell in love with meditation. I now trained with dan brown. Who's just an amazing teacher for me. I've never met dan brown. He's at harvard at harvard and the thing that appeals to me. Personally i'm a skeptic. That's what i loved about your story. I'm a skeptic. I'm always the one asking the questions. And because he's also an academic practitioner. He is a very satisfying relationship with my mind. And he's he's just really really gifted and And one of the most homeless persons. I've ever met especially being at harvard. You know so. How did you find him. Oh i got. His book is really really big. Book about the state of meditation. Mahamoud mudra pointing out the way. And i bought it. Put it down five years later. I picked it up and it blew me away. And i had the i realized i had the illusion of his meditating but it was not meditating properly and i thought i've got to go meet this guy. I've got to go train with him and i did. And that's what Just knocked me over. So would you say you weren't meditating properly. But he pointed out the way to do it properly. What with what would the difference. What was the difference there in the technique between with meditation. Your mongols all over the place and one of the techniques he has. I'm gonna decent detail since. I'm not a teacher but he really. Has you practice the awareness of your breath the entire way and really noticing when you leave noticing when you have partial iced concentration in these types of things and so the other thing. I like about him as a teacher when you go into retreat with him. He's there the whole time usually other retreats. I've been a teacher for me about an hour and then there's constant interaction i connected with it very deeply so you when you say you went and met him did you. Just say hey. Can i get a little bit of your time or do you show up and no no no. I showed up to retreats. I signed up and it was so funny was held a monastery so it was like. Oh my god. I'm going in deep here and it was great. It was really really great and i have become. You talked about being ten percent happier. I think i'm a. I'm ten percent better person which makes people around me happy. We're you complex. Before i didn't think i was i didn't think i was reactive and i realize holy moly was so reactive but this thing that has changed with is telling this with dan we just met a couple of months ago is that i have changed. I actually this is gonna sound terrible before. I would do the right thing because you're supposed to but now i actually genuinely care it. It's hard to put into words what this is but this connection and this compassion and talk a lot about the wu stuff the most you stuff and i'm like that and now here i am talking about stuff and it's like oh we have to end all suffering and so this is done in my career you get it. Yeah i'm not. I'm not a person but it has lit my passion for what i do to a level i didn't expect would happen to put an end to unnecessary suffering as it relates to mind and body. Because there's so much unnecessary suffering around eating and body and judgment and shame and you talk about conceptual mind. Oh my gosh. The rules and the concepts and the judgements. That are out there. It's neat to watch people's lives change. You know it's a technique that we created through intuitive eating over twenty five years ago we've updated it all along and the cool thing is there's now research on our method and it just it just warms my heart and ways. I just can't begin to describe. We're going to go deep on diet culture at
Marketplace Tech with Molly Wood
We hardly ever talk about YouTube and disinformation. Not anymore.
"We talk a lot on this show about how social media platforms have been slow to react to disinformation over the years. Yes and especially around elections and now the corona virus and also the corona virus vaccine but perhaps these slowest to take a stand is youtube for example. The video platform waited until december ninth a full month after the presidential election before it started to remove videos falsely claiming election fraud or rigging researchers worried about its radicalizing algorithm for years and the company has basically no interest in working with them. Evelyn dick an affiliate at harvard's klein center for internet and society. She said youtube is playing firmly under the radar. It's baffling in the lead up to the election. So many stories. You could almost be forgiven for thinking that facebook twitter with the only source of online information in the country. But what we do know is that youtube is one of the biggest if not the biggest social media platform in the united states at least and we also know that. There is a fair amount of disinformation misinformation on the platform. And if we look at like even the congressional hearings maka bug and jack dorsey have appeared. A number of times and susan would just hasn't been cold yet. It sort of seems like youtube 's strategy has often been to keep its head down and sort of let the other platforms take the hate that seems to be working for. What could you to be doing. I know one thing you're interested in. Is this kind of false binary. Either you know. Take down a piece of information or leave it up. But that that's not the only choice particularly for a platform like youtube right and i wanna be sort of specific about my complain so one of the things that i would just really like youtube to just be far more open about what it's doing and the measures that it's taking in demoting or not recommending certain content let's dig into this transparency a little bit because i think people don't exactly understand what you and researchers are asking for like. What might you get from facebook or twitter. Compared to you to i example facebook and twitter are far more transparent about sort of the engagement metrics and the content that is on its surface so facebook has a tool called crowd tangle which allows researchers to sort of map. What's happening on the platform in terms of engagement. And there's definitely limitations to that but it is at least something and twitter by its very nature. Being a more public platform provides more daughter researches whereas a lot of that stuff just doesn't exist for youtube so we have folles visibility. So that's a key thing and so then what happens like you call youtube and you're like hey we are trying to understand better. How for example. Young people keep getting radicalized on your platform. Can you give us a sense of what's happening in the algorithm. And they just don't answer the phone. Yeah i mean pretty much exactly. You know there's this big debate happening in the research community about the level of filter bubbles or the radicalization effective youtube algorithms and still an open question. It's really hard to answer based on these tools and the data currently available to researches. Evelyn is an affiliate at harvard's berkman klein center for internet and society. A pew research survey in september found that one in four adults get their news from youtube

Slate's If Then
Twitter will ban Holocaust denial posts, following Facebook
"If you're American, you probably think of free speech as the default. Just the way things are. And I. Don't know where it enters the stuff. I don't know if it's in the water or if it's in the kindergarten curriculum Evelyn. Is Not American, but it's only something that I have encountered faith in years is just like first amendment fundamentalism she's an Australian who lives in Massachusetts and she's one of most dynamic and nuanced thinkers. Online speech. She lectures at Harvard Law School. You came here to study kind of First Amendment Law to look at this stuff. As an outsider, what was your impression of the US fundamental adherence to free speech? I feel a little bit like gas lit as a foreigner when you come to America. As I did for years ago to Study Comparative Constitutional, Law, and free speech One of the most striking things about American free speech doctrine is this like this example of there were Nazis that wanted to march in skokie. I know jumping straight to Nazis his kind of leaping into the free speech depend. But Evelyn's describing one of the most famous first amendment cases when that really tests American values, the story goes like this. In one, thousand, nine, hundred, a group of neo-nazis wanted to march in the Chicago suburb of skokie Illinois largely because a lot of Holocaust survivors lived there seven thousand concentration camp survivors living in the predominantly Jewish Chicago suburb of skokie not surprisingly, there was a huge legal fight cokie officials a block Nazi demonstrations with court injunctions when the Nazis appealed to the State Supreme Court a judge has refused to hear the case. But what might surprise you if you don't know the story is that the American Civil Liberties Union indeed a lawyer with the ACLU defended the Nazis right to March under the First Amendment saying the right to free expression with integral to who we are as a country. It's just such an iconic story of the literal Nazis were going to be allowed to marching the street and as a foreigner you come here, new learn that and normally deland that it's it's not like these inconvenient embarrassment about Assessment Amendment Law. It's this like really proud one of the truly great victories for the First Amendment was that it will protect the speech that we hate because it is you know Betta to have it out in the urban it's better to meet it with county speech and we just can't trust the government to suppress as an Australian very striking. I don't even have a right to free speech. We don't have a bill of rights and our Constitution it's it's like a completely foreign idea this fight over unfettered free speech and in fact, where it collides with Anti Semitism and Holocaust denial broke into the news cycle again, this week, there's a split screen like the Supreme Court confirmation hearings going on on one side, and then on the other side facebook releases a blog post the company which has always said it values free expression above everything else announced that it would ban any content that denies or distorts the Holocaust. Two days later, twitter did the same thing. It might seem like banning Holocaust denial is a pretty easy call, but it was only a few years ago that facebook said, it wouldn't prohibit Holocaust to nihilism on its platform. which is part of why and says, this is a really big deal I. think this is like a really iconic moment in the history of the company and its thinking and its evolution around its rules. There is no more emblematic rule that facebook had about. To First Amendment Principles. Today on the show. Decision to finally habit Holocaust, Mus Information and what it means for free speech debates, the Internet and the potential for change.

Good Monday dot com today. I, WanNa talk about how seismic shift this is if we think back to just two years ago. Mark Zuckerberg gave a very now well known interview to Cara Swisher. And said, she didn't believe that posts that deny the Holocaust should be taken down. I believe that our platform should take down because I think that there are things different people get wrong. either. I don't think that they're intentionally getting a wrong but I think that they. They might be but go home. It's hard to pune intent. Boy. It is a big journey from. People get things wrong even though I might find it personally offensive. To. My own thinking has evolved. The big thing that they always have hung onto was we don't WanNa be arbiters of truth, and we will not take content down purely on the basis that it's false. We might take it on the down on the basis that its nudity or that it's hate speech or that it has other sort of effects but we weren't take content down just because it's wrong and that's sort of what's reflected in that quote from Makoto Takhar Swisher is you know some people get things wrong sometimes and the the pandemic literally changed that decision overnight in the context of a global public health emergency they abandoned that they said we will take down. False information about the pandemic because it poses a public health risk, and now we're playing ball like now companies are taking content down on the basis that it's false and we're now seeing it in other areas. We saw it in the context of the wildfires in West my country was on file for months. In December and January, and there were lots of false rumors about the cause of the fires and facebook didn't take anything down and then Oregon was on fire A. Couple of months ago, and suddenly they were taking down misinformation about the cause of their as far as think a stock contrast as you can draw. It's still interesting to hear you peg this to the pandemic because I think about all the data points that came before that this is. After the two thousand, sixteen election, it is after the Charlottesville unite the right rally, which took place in two thousand seventeen. Do you think the coronavirus pandemic is it sort of launching us into a new I guess area of thinking about content and speech on its own or or easy it kind of a I guess a catalyst for something that was going to happen anyway. Yeah. You're absolutely right that it's only sort of it's part of the broader trend. It was a particularly visible and sort of obvious example of the trend in the same way that the pandemic has made many sort of fundamental. Assumptions structures in society more visible, and we've sort of seen progressively moving more and more along that line of sort of okay. We copies all speech all the time. Let's balancing trysts and draw the line and I think that the pandemic was just sort of another step along that road. If you think about it that way these announcements from facebook and twitter about banning Holocaust denial or in line with other content moderation decisions we've seen this year like the outright ban on Cunanan content. But in other ways several and says the decision. Holocaust. Denial marks a deeper and more fundamental shift in how speeches police online Holocaust denial is one of these iconic things about the first amendment and I believe that one of the reasons why facebook sort of stuck to that principle for so long of allowing on services was because it's still considered itself a fundamentally American company attached to these first. Amendment ideals is robust marketplace of ideas. Which is bizarre when you think about it these these are clearly global companies now and most of they US bases outside all over America but there was still something that it couldn't let go of and so I think it's really when Audience First Amendment land anymore like vc's we are now in this unknown landscape of trying to work out what norms we can attach ourselves to.
